Neil:( Spoke up after a few mins seeing Ansh still awake)"Tell me Ansh. How did the monster look like"

Ansh:( Hugging Ahana)"Scary papa"

Neil:( Pulling ansh towards him As he cuddled him)" But Buddy what color was he"

Ansh:"Red"

Neil:"Red like your favorite car?"( Ansh nodded)

Ahana looked at Neil confused. What was he trying to do. She didn't understand it but she kept quiet observing the two.

Neil:"By the way what was your favorite cars name.."( He acted as if thinking.)

Ansh:"Lighting queen"

Ahana:(Laughs)"Not lighting queen Ansh. It's  Lightning  Mcqueen "

Ansh:"yes mumma  lightning mqueen"( He said as he had difficulty pronouncing the name properly)

Neil:(smiles)"Yes buddy Lightning Mcqueen. Now tell me one thing Ansh. Lightning Mcqueen Is strong right. He zooms here and there."

Ansh:"yeah papa he is the best "

Neil:"Hmm he is. And What about your favorite superheroes?"

Ansh:( Excitedly)"Iron Mannnn.... Spider man..."

Neil:"Yes Iron Man. He is super strong and fights villain. Even spider man. But Ansh did you notice both of them wear red suit."

Ansh looked confused at his father who pulled Ansh closer towards him while Ahana layed a little far, eyes still on her 2 boys.

Neil:"Ansh red should be your favorite color. Your favorite car, favorite superheroes and even your favorite tshirt has red on it"( He said as he slightly tickled Ansh)"And if Red is such a bright and Happy color than he can he hurt us. Even the Red monster can't hurt us Ansh. Because we have so many superhero with us to protect us. Ansh you yourself are soooooo strong how can any monster hurt you. And papa so there na no monster will even think of hurting my Ansh. So Ansh doesn't need to be scared of Any monster. Ansh will protect mumma and Baby na. Baby is small and will get scared easily "

Ansh:(hugging Neil)"Papa I am strong. I will protect mumma And baby. I will fight Red monster. I am not scared now"

Neil:(Kissing his forehead)"Good baby. Never be scared of Anything. Ansh if your scared of something then you make it stronger.( He said as he looked at Ahana)" Instead of being scared, we should face our fears. Then the fear itself will be scared of our braveness."

Ansh Nodded as he yawned a little. Neil saw this as he patted Ansh's back helping the little guy fall asleep. All this while Ahana's mind pondered over Neil's words. As was lost in her thoughts when she felt a hand rest on her forehead. She turned to see Neil looking at her while Ansh was snuggling into his chest fast asleep.

Neil:"don't think much Shona. Gets some sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow if you want. clear your mind and get some rest. You need it and So does the baby."( Ahana smiled and nodded)

As she kept looking at his eyes, his fingers ran through her hair as he helped her sleep. Soon her eyes became droopy as she fell into slumber.

Next morning...

Ahana's eyes flattered open as she adjusted to light. She felt a hand pressing Against her stomach and looked down to see the back of Neil's hands pressed against her stomach and pressed to his hand was Ansh's leg. Ansh had a habit for moving in his sleep. He most probably moved and kept his leg near Ahana's stomach. Neil hand was the only think keeping the pressure off from her stomach. She sighed in relief. Not sleeping with the kids for months, she had forgotten about this. A Soft smile came upon her seeing the sight in front of her though. Even in deep slumber, Neil was protecting them. Protecting the baby.
